Fails when executing fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock but fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce getvar version returns correctly and all other commands work
I'm not sure, but.. did you tick USB debugging?
maybe you are not allowed to unlock bl, dial *#*#4636#*#* and check
When i use the command "fastboot boot boot.img" to boot twrp it loads endlessly until i interrupt it,
where it then gives me the error : FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links)).
My device is detected by "fastbood devices" and "adb devices".
I already tried to set the current slot to a with this: fastboot.exe --set-active=a
but it failed: FAILED (remote: 'unknown command').
My device is unlocked but when i check device status via "fastboot oem device-info" it tells me: (bootloader) 'device-info' is not a supported oem command.
Same goes for "fastboot oem help" which results in a : "FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')".
Right now i am using Havoc-OS which means it did work before.
Anyone else got any tips how i might get twrp to run again?
are you trying to boot fastboot boot boot.img ? or fastboot boot twrp.img ?
You need USB 2.0 hub.

Hello guys!
I have an XT1929-4 on android pie and I am having issues with unlocking my bootloader.
I am using the fastboot unlock method and I am always getting stuck with the "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" command. "fastboot devices" shows my device serial number. OEM unlock and USB debugging is also turned on in the devices settings. The tool I am using is the minimal ADB and Fastboot software. Tools mode config is enabled when I do the fastboot commands, If 'fastboot oem help' should work, then maybe all 'fastboot oem' commands are not working for me.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot devices

^I did the fastboot oem get_unlock data twice here.
I was planning to flash pixelexperience rom when I saw the thread here. Thank you in advance and I hope somebody can help.
FIXED: i used all three usb A ports of my laptop. I tried using the usb c port of the laptop by using a usb c to usb a adapter. fastboot oem get_unlock_data worked.
I got my token, hit oem unlocking. Rebooted to fastbootd mode, then I use fastboot flash cust-unlock. Which returns,
C:\Users\James>fastboot flash cust-unlock C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock_code.bin
Sending 'cust-unlock' (0 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Download is not allowed on locked devices')
fastboot: error: Command failed
If I try it without cust-unlock I get,
C:\Users\James>fastboot flash C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock_code.bin
unknown partition 'C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock_code.bin'
fastboot: error: cannot determine image filename for 'C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock_code.bin'
If I fastboot reboot to bootloader and do the same command I get,
C:\Users\James>fastboot flash cust-unlock C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock_code.bin
Sending 'cust-unlock' (0 KB) OKAY [ 0.002s]
Writing 'cust-unlock' (bootloader) Device is unlocked.
OKAY [ 0.004s]
Finished. Total time: 0.099s
But, that doesn't actually unlock my bootloader. Can someone please help?
Here's some more I have tried
C:\Users\James>fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing unlock')
fastboot: error: Command failed
C:\Users\James>fastboot flashing unlock C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock_code.bin

I even renamed the file but here's what I got,
C:\Users\James>fastboot flash cust-unlock C:\Users\James\Desktop\10pro\unlock.bin
Sending 'cust-unlock' (0 KB) FAILED (remote: 'Download is not allowed on locked devices')
fastboot: error: Command failed
C:\Users\James>fastboot flashing unlock
FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing unlock')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Then I moved the unlock.bin and same results.
I was able to hit oem unlock so it shouldn't be sim related, but thanks for helping

Four things:
Name of file doesn't matter
SIM unlock and bootloader unlock are separate things
Move the unlock.bin to the same folder as your platform tools so you don't have to put the entire the path. Or put it in quotation marks
Is fastboot in your system PATH? If not, prefix fastboot to look like this
Code:
./fastboot.exe
Also, what does the following command return?
Code:
fastboot devices

C:\>fastboot devices
*serial number* fastboot
Also not too sure what you mean, "Is fastboot in your system PATH? If not, prefix fastboot to look like this"
But it is installed to my system drive. Even tried downloading new platform tools and trying it in my root drive of C:\
No worries. If you got the "5497b039" returned it means fastboot is working for you and your device is in the correct bootloader mode.
Does your device display "locked" in red letters?
Are you sure that "OEM unlock" is still toggled in the developer settings?

Okay so I got it, thank you for the help.
Did the commands you sent in the bootloader menu, guess I missed the second.
For anyone who can't unlock the bootloader I'll post simple instructions, on the NE2217
OEM unlock - on
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash cust-unlock unlock.bin
fastboot flashing unlock
anyone can add anything else
Pixel 5
When attempting to lock the bootloader on my Pixel 5 I enter:'/;
"C:\platform-tools>fastboot flashing lock"
and have the return
"FAILED (remote: 'Unrecognized command flashing lock')
fastboot: error: Command failed"
My device is in fastbootd and my windows command promt does return the correct device when using "fastboot device"
"C:\platform-tools>fastboot help" Seems to indicate that "fastboot flashing lock" should work.
What am I missing?
You want to be in the bootloader not fastbootd.
adb reboot bootloader
